I want to see a better shooter wipe Fortnite out of existance...
but this just looks like complete shit.. who sees those shitty weapons and thinks that looks fun?
 
I personally am LOVING the replies to the tween from Geoff.

Not a single positive response, usually Theres at least a few "give it a chance" softies in there. Nope. Complete and utter annihilation.

These devs man, it's time to stop chasing trends. Fools.
 
They've been working on this for the last 5 years. They hired Overwatch's writer back in 2021. And this is going to flop extremely hard, yet again.

I understand that executives are stupid. But what's the joy of working for 5 years on yet another Fortnite-like GaaS game? Why do the studio's founder would go with Take Two/2K to work on that? Is that worth 5 years of their life, that will end up to nothing?

Extremely frustrating to players and all the devs involved.

Im so glad to have grown up pretty much at the dawn of gaming. I feel sorry for today's kids who think games like this are amazing.
 
I almost think these companies are trying to create failures. Maybe the feedback will cause them to pull the plug.

Asking a developer to stop chasing trends is like asking a sailor to stop adjusting his sails based on the direction of the wind. A completely illogical statement.

Also, mediocre Battle Royale game Off the Grid seemed to have solid launch numbers which suggest a thirst for a new experience in BR is real.

It's more like asking a sailor not to sail into icebergs, but sure.

The second definition of the word "ethos" here is listing "character", which makes "Project Ethos" a funny name because there is almost no character to what's been shown. This looks like a fake Fortnite knockoff that you would see in a TV show.
 
It's moments like this that I feel gaming is dead. People used to create games to push engaging, fascinating stories. Now they're trying to milk the money out of you with bland creations and sell it as sophistication.
 
At this point you have to be pretty obtuse to not see the writing on the wall and look at this project and think to yourself "yeah this will do".

NeoGAF hates trends except when it's another remake of 20 years old horror game or a new Soulslike.
